[@alexismonet3]

hey sis! please do a video on your plants and how you water and upkeep them as well as propagate them. I'm starting out and need guidance

[@dorisdeal8729]

Loved the mom chat. Thanks for sharing ❤ very true everything you said.

[@sophieclarke7107]

You saying yes to the water play was really wholesome. I'm a mum to a 7 year old and a 10 month old, and honestly, my approach is, "save my 'no's' for the things that really matter." For example, "can I run down the street without holding your hand?" No. "Can I eat nothing but sweets all day?" No, absolutely not. But, "can i get wet in these clothes?" Go for it! "Can I paint?" Of course. "Can I wear these sandals that absolutely do not match my outfit whatsoever?" Yes, yes, yes. It's not about "spoling out children" and yes, some extra work does come with saying yes. But actually, it's so much easier. My kids know I have very clear boundaries when it comes to safety, etc. And they behave beautifully when we're out and about, and at home, to be fair. Saying yes has dramatically impacted my 7 year olds behaviour in a positive way. She no longer aniticpates that I'll just say no to everything, just because, and in turn, she says yes so much more!!! "Will you please finish up that brocolli?" Sure... "Will you please wear your raincoat?" Yep! I encourage everyone to give it a go. It changes everything.

[@sophieclarke7107]

also this is not about shaming anyone!!! We all have to say no sometimes and we have busy lives and I'm not trying to paint an "I do it perfectly picture." It's just an approach that changed everything for me. It feels like we're on the same team as our kids now, not battling against them.

Oh I love this so much! Thank you for taking the time to share with us 😍😍😍

[@shahadfawzi281]

That is a very beautiful comment i will try that with my daughter starting today! Thank you

[@amandas3440]

Hi Kayla, thanks again for sharing your family and all your thoughts with us. I would love a link to your blue dress!

[@jenf4616]

It’s hard to find a community when you’re a busy mom but Very Good Mother’s Club has been life changing for me. We talk about EVERYTHING and no one is judging. You are met with love and support. I thought I was the only one going through something and when I spoke up others could totally relate! It was so validating. I absolutely recommend it to every single mom!

[@KaylaBuell]

That’s so amazing! I’m really glad you’ve found a group that you love!

[@sarabickel9996]

Love your plants and starts!!! One of my favorite things to do too! Something fun, we lived in Homestead like 52 years ago, as newlyweds. What fun to hang out in Florida with you ❤

[@michelleannaaao]

your mom group sounds so wonderful & helpful! I completely agree with what you were saying about going out & putting in time & effort for how you look and feel. taking 15min to put on a tiny bit of makeup, do your hair, & put real clothes on really does something! you are WINNING. the happiness beams from you

[@jacintasalt8731]

Enjoying the mom chats. I belong to a mom’s/women’s group through church and it helps so much.

[@suzannem8096]

So true! I always feel rushed when I leave the kids and can hardly enjoy it. I will say it's gotten better as the kids get older though.

[@sarabickel9996]

I'm really happy that you tried to be the yes mom with water play. My pastor preached on this recently. Switching to a slightly more positive answer for our family and others can be amazing. That doesn't mean I never say no, or I'll have to think about it. ❤

[@Playing_with_a_Purpose]

Do you know if the food subscription is for Canada as well?

[@emilytabisz2366]

Would love to find a Mom community 😊 I see my youtuber moms like you as friends! Lol

[@nathalypreza4922]

Been loving all the new videos! ❤

[@KaylaBuell]

Yayyy! I’m so glad!

[@Lolofint0]

Where’s your dress from in the haul is it Amazon it’s so cute

[@lieselmallum3880]

Your videos are the best ❤😁

[@KaylaBuell]

Thank you 🥹🥹

[@annah5838]

Love any kind of grocery haul!

[@KaylaBuell]

Me too!

[@CPMom83]

Your mini monsteras are beautiful! I just looked them up to see if I can get one, but based on the fact they’ll need a support stick or trellis for support, that is officially too much work for me. Haha so I will just enjoy yours from the video. I hope we in NC treat you guys to a great trip! Safe travels! Also…NC we’ve had like no rain…. So MY plants outside are borderline scorched and I’m trying to water and baby my plants each day. We are praying for rain! 😊

[@andreanittel2240]

...have a wonderful trip!!!!!

[@andreanittel2240]

...when my daughter travels wit the kids, the kids each have a carry on suitcase- and their clothes go in there. At ages 6 and 8, they r responsible for picking out their own items. Then they each have a backpack for any toys, coloring, stuffies, etc that they want to bring along. That's it. I think Riley is old enough to pick her items and u could do it with Jackson. You could also have a carry on for Sean and also fill a backpack with some toys for him. I realize you will also have to have a diaper bag for him. Maybe consider that.

[@youtubeacc]

Can you teach my 41 year old husband to pack for himself? 😂

[@TheMultitaskingMama]

All the baby giggles!!! ❤❤❤

[@KaylaBuell]

My favorite 😍

[@AbbyRossetter-lj6zn]

Thanks sharing ❤

[@millierodriguez1479]

Hi again! I hope you are having a wonderful day. ❤

[@KaylaBuell]

Thank you Millie! You too!

[@nicholemaclean1888]

Amen! Being a mom is such an amazing God given role but it’s not ALL that we are. We are wives, Christ followers, friends etc. Motherhood can become an idol. That mom group sounds so helpful. Connecting deeply with other women and moms is so good. Also, I love that you love Joe. Healthy marriages are rare and enjoying time together is so important. I love being with my husband and it makes me sad to see friends who don’t even like their husband.

[@KaylaBuell]

For sure!!!! And yea he’s the best 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@monicageller226]

Yes, please make the “NO mother”video. I’ve been feeling that lately. I go to bed feeling such guilt and anguish that my kids will think of me as the grinch 😩 I tell my husband I don’t want them to see me como una amargada. Thanks for the video Kayla. You always manage to help me feel less alone in this motherhood journey.

[@karinseaman4060]

My son is almost 2 and still in his pack n play.. I'll probably move him to a bed next year sometime, and I'm dreading it... He will probably get out constantly 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[@jessicaely2521]

My daughter never gets out of bed. I don't know why. I'm happy it's like that, though.
